Made in China? DAM

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to “Becoming van Gogh” at the Denver Art Museum earlier this we ek. While there, we browsed the gift shop and fell in love with a beautiful large art glass bowl. Even though it was quite expensive, we were prepared to purchase it — until we spotted the “Made in China” label on the bottom. We checked several other pieces, and they were all from China.

Really, DAM, we have so many talented artists in this state and the rest of the U.S. — why do you need to sell art glass from China? I could understand if the pieces were in conjunction with a specific exhibit, but that was not the case.

The Denver Art Museum is just like an other “business”……like the souvenir shops in our National Parks….and the “not wanted in MY neighborhood but I’ll drive to shop there” WAlmart……that buys “affordable” items for sale that people actually will buy simply because it is “affordable”…..even if it is “Made ij China” or Mexico or India or wherever.
